Kim Kwang-jin

Hi Maethoredhel

You reverted[1] my edit[2] to Kim Kwang-jin only 1 minute after I made it.

I created[3] the new category 1 minute later, so I have restored my version.

I see that you are a new editor, so welcome. But please, don't pounce on other editor's work-in-progress. That doesn't help anyone. (I have been editing for 10 years, so I do have some idea what I am doing, or I'd have been blocked or banned somewhere in the course of my ~580,00 edits!).

Best wishes, --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:26, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@BrownHairedGirl: My apologies, I am a recent changes patroller, and a ORES user, which generally makes me more prone to mistakes. I apologize once again, and thank you for notifying me. —Maethoredhel (Talk • Contribs • Log) 18:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Maethoredhel. But may I suggest that doing recent changes patrolling is not a wise choice of task for a new editor? It's a job which benefits a lot from more experience of how en.wp works.

If the tool you are using makes your more prone to mistakes, that's another good reason to direct your energies to another aspect of Wikipedia. Making mistakes with other editors work-in-progress can seriously annoy some of those editors, and it'd be a pity for your start to turn sour.
